Border Construction Paused in Big Bend | Annapolis News
Description
Bulldozers spotted in Big Bend National Park have triggered a temporary halt to border construction, as federal officials scramble to respond to public outcry over machinery invading a sacred natural landscape. The CBP Commissioner is heading to the park himself to meet locals and assess the situation — a move Governor Greg Abbott credits to his recent talks with Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas, who assured him no physical barriers will be built within the park. While Abbott pushes for tech-based solutions like drones over damaging infrastructure, the pause doesn’t mean all work is off the table — the review is just beginning, leaving the future of border security in this iconic canyon uncertain.
